Are you a finance leader who gets energized by helping business owners unlock growth, profitability, and generational wealth? Do you love sitting at the leadership table, turning numbers into decisions, and watching clients hit targets they didn't think were possible?

If that sounds like you, we want to meet you.

At Profit with Law and DreamBuilder Financial, our mission is to empower business owners with the financial clarity and strategy they need to build generational wealth. We do this by helping them unlock higher profit margins, operate more efficiently, and make better decisions — all driven by data and strategy.

As our Fractional CFO, you will own the CFO relationship with our portfolio of law firm clients in the $2M–$50M revenue range. You will sit in on their leadership meetings, shape their strategic direction, hold their teams accountable to KPIs, and directly drive the financial results they achieve.

What You'll Own

You are the strategic financial leader for each client. You will interact with and possibly oversee their internal financial team. You will interface with their leadership team and very often drive the agenda of that team.

You will be supported by in-house bookkeepers, business analysts, financial analysts, and controllers. You will use typical accounting applications, FP&A tools, and Power BI. You will explore opportunities for clients to use AI to strengthen their financial processes.

Why Join Us?

At Profit with Law and DreamBuilder Financial, we foster a culture of love, growth, and optimism. We are committed to creating an environment where every employee feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Here are some of the benefits of working with us:

• Professional Growth: We invest in our employees' development through continuous learning opportunities, mentorship programs, and clear career paths.
• Collaborative Environment: We believe in teamwork and encourage open communication and idea-sharing across all departments.
• Impactful Work: Your contributions will directly influence our success and help us achieve our goals of helping clients achieve generational wealth.
• Rapid Career Advancement: We are a small firm, which means that the opportunity to develop into a leadership role is available immediately. 
• Work-Life Balance: We understand the importance of a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible arrangements and supportive policies.
• 100% Remote Workforce: Our team is made up of a diverse group of superstars located in countries throughout the world.
• 13th Month and Holiday Swaps: We recognize the varied needs of our diverse and worldwide staff, and we embrace them by providing a 13th Month holiday bonus as well as our unique holiday swap initiative, which allows each team member to celebrate the days of the year that they want to spend with their family and friends.

• Drive Growth and Profitability: Partner with each client's leadership team to develop and oversee their overall growth and profit plan, including identifying key projects, budgets, and strategic priorities.
• Provide Insight and Analysis: Work closely with our reporting team to develop meaningful dashboards and reports in our FP&A toolset. Present these to clients with clear explanations and identify the decision drivers that matter most.
• Establish KPIs and Bonus Structures: The key to driving higher profitability is getting staff to operate in the top 80% of their potential. You will help clients build clear, measurable KPIs and financial incentive structures that tie employee performance to client success.
• Leadership Team Accountability: Meet monthly with every member of each client's leadership team to review performance against pre-identified goals. Help leaders overcome challenges and stay on track.
• Guide Structural Changes: Clients are growing from being founder-run to being led by a leadership team. Often, we are helping them identify the gaps in leadership and assist with designing the role, compensation, and structure, as well as the efforts to fill those roles.
• Review Accounting Processes: Clients typically have a varied level of internal financial staff members. You will review their internal financial systems and determine the skill level of staff and changes or improvements needed for financial processes. You will assist or oversee the month-end closing process.
• Client Relationship Management: Proactively manage CFO client relationships. Identify and resolve potential issues before they escalate. Be the trusted advisor clients turn to for their biggest financial decisions.
• Get Results: Perhaps the most fun and the most important — you will be directly responsible for the results clients achieve.
